Baby Foot Party - Freebidou

Advantages: This is a classic
Disadvantages: Cover not very inventive

...Great album with all the classic Sister Sledge tracks...It really is a party album that is guarenteed to get any occassion swinging! They really were at the heart of disco in the late nighties early eighties and it brought back all the school disco memories i would highly recommend this for any back in the day party. The only thing was the cover really, was a little uninventive and very dated, but then again you dont buy music for the look of the cover do you! All the great favorites on there and a couple of slowies too it wont fail to get your foot taping especially all you 30 somethings! Made me want to don my rah rah skirt and platforms and dance the night away... Read review

Advantages: Good lyrics, simple songs, great party album
Disadvantages: A couple disapointing songs

...after "Motel Killafornia". It's great at first but gets a bit boring after a few spins. * Foot in mouth - This song is the least memorable of the album. Definately not my favourite. * Going to hell - A great end to a great album. Lasting less than 2 minutes it's over quicker than it begun but after the album as a whole you are always in a great mood. This is a pretty short album lasting only 35:28. This is typical for a horror punk record as each song lasts only a couple minutes and they all come in short sharp bursts of energy with the exception of scary song which is slower than the others. Summary After listening to this you will feel great and ready to party or to grab a guitar and start thrashing out some riffs. You can't listen to this and feel bad. It's a positive album and yes, it is short, but that's how it is meant to be... Read review

Advantages: Good, eclectic choice of standards and interesting arrangements
Disadvantages: A couple of rather dull songs

...' In the Wind' days, this version with full-blooded female backing vocals, chopping piano à la 'Virginia Plain', sawing violins, all topped with that extraordinary part-sung, part-declaimed vocal (to say nothing of appropriate rain, thunder and crashing wave sound effects!), was simply astonishing. Was Bryan sending up the much-revered folk song, or simply shocking us by turning it into a cracker of a record to party to? The latter, I think. [Note, if you're used to the truncated 4'15 single version, you'll have to get this album for the unedited, far superior 5'20 take]. A similar big production is employed for the Stones' tour de force 'Sympathy For The Devil'. One of Mick Jagger's best-crafted lyrics ever (he namechecks St Petersburg, Pilate, the Tsar, Anastasia, the Blitzkrieg and even the Kennedys), I always thought the original would be hard...
